Monolith vs Microservices: Choosing Architecture by Tradeoffs

Casual Meetup Image
On July 8th, 2026, we explored monoliths and microservices as different tradeoff packages, not enemies. This meetup was part of our series dedicated to Microservices Architecture Design Patterns.

The meetup focused on the practical decisions behind software architecture: structure, tradeoffs, and when each approach fits best. It also served as part of our broader meetup series dedicated to Microservices Architecture Design Patterns.

The Slides on SlideShare

These slides introduce the key tradeoffs between monolithic and microservices architectures, comparing simplicity, consistency, scalability, autonomy, operational complexity, common pitfalls, and practical decision criteria for choosing the right architecture. You can find them online at slideshare.net. 

The Video of My Talk

The full video of my talk is now available online for anyone who would like to explore the topic in greater depth. You can find it at https://youtu.be/VBKArn6RBUk. 

The main takeaway was clear: monoliths and microservices are not enemies. They are different architectural tradeoff packages. The right decision depends on product stage, team structure, operational maturity, and the rate of change.

MongoDB Data Modeling Essentials

Effective MongoDB data modeling begins with understanding how an application reads and writes data. This post explores workload-driven schema design, embedding versus referencing, entity relationships, schema validation, and the principle that data accessed together should usually be stored together.
